To find the missing side of the triangle, we use pythagorean theorem.
c^2=a^2+b^2
Put values
16^2 = 5^2 +b^2
256=25+b^2
Subtract 25 from both sides.
231=b^2
Take square root.
15.2=b
or
b=15.2 Rounded to nearest tenth.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

For each of the possible outcomes add the numbers on the two dice and count how many times this sum is 7. If you do so you will find that the sum is 7 for 6 of the possible outcomes. Thus the sum is a 7 in 6 of the 36 outcomes and hence the probability of rolling a 7 is 6/36 = 1/6
